One of Netflix’s most popular and critically acclaimed shows, Glow is set to tackle the comic book world. IDW Publishing announced on Monday that a four-issue comic book series based on the show is on its way.
The comic book will offer an original story spinning out from the critically acclaimed series starring Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin and Marc Maron, as Ruth, Debbie and rest of the GLOW crew find themselves accidentally scheduled for a charity wrestling match with real lady wrestlers.
The comic will be written by by WWE and Euthanauts author Tini Howard with art by Hannah Templer. Mensch and Flahive stated,
“We’re thrilled to work with IDW to bring new stories to life on the page and in the ring,”
“Can we smoosh 14 women into a little frame? Only time will tell… but we couldn’t be more excited!”
Howard, who added,
“I’m more than just a GLOW fan, I’m a wrestling fan, too. I’ve written wrestling comics before, and I adore it. Wrestling and comic books are a natural fit for more than just tights and fights. Each of the gorgeous ladies has either developed her own character or adapted to one thrust upon her, and making that identity her own is not dissimilar to, say, putting on a bat costume.”
The comic book series is set to debut in March.
